33 Life Lessons

Birthdays have a way of making us reflect on our lives – our highs and our lows, our triumphs and our failures. I don’t know why, but this particular birthday has my reminiscent brain in overdrive. And so, I’ve decided to share with you 33 of the life lessons I’ve learned in my long short 33 years.

1. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. I learned this when my granddaddy passed away a couple years ago. I was devastated. He was supposed to live forever.

2. Good credit is important. Really, people – Trust me. I learned this the hard way, after poor decisions when I was a teenager and after a bad divorce.

That’s good. And I haven’t been able to write as much in my job lately either. It does feel like a lot of the old gang doesn’t write as much lately. Oh well, people go in and out of cycles. It was fun to see you and Arden go back and forth rewarding each other those awesome awards you did.

Wonderful, insightful list. Stuff we should live everyday but never really think about. Way wiser than your young 33 years! You have learned a lot my friend. It is so good to read a post from you! Happy Happy Birthday!
